A circular issued on Wednesday and obtained by Channels Television confirmed the directive, which affects all schools in Isin, Irepodun, Ifelodun, and Ekiti LGAs.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to the NUT Chairman, Yusuf Agboola, the shutdown was implemented strictly on the instruction of the Ministry of Education and Human Capital Development after authorities flagged fresh security threats in Kwara South.
“Comrade chairmen, this is to inform you and through you, all schools in the above local governments of the instruction to close down all schools with immediate effect until further notice,” the circular stated.
“This decision was occasioned by the security challenges ravaging the area and the efforts of the government to control the situation. Treat this information as important and with the urgency it deserves, as it emanated from the ministry,” it added.
Agboola assured school administrators and teachers that they would receive further directives as the situation develops.
